DD2 is a biter. Every feed. I guess it's her way of saying 'I'm done', but after successfully BF the two older kids long term (16 and 27 months) I'm just about ready to say "I'm done".
I have a wound. A serious wound. It just doesn't get the chance to heal. I tried to get those little water proof bandaids today, but the couple of places I checked didn't stock them (we are remote). Will search harder tomorrow. But because the wound is so serious it gets opened with each feed, which means it weeps and bleeds and therefore sticks to anything I try to protect it with..which has to be removed for a feed....more pain/bleeding/weeping.
It hurts soooooo much. Like make me cry hurt. I dread feeds on that side. I am just grateful she only does one side at a time.
Yes she is teething having cut 3 this last week alone. She does it alert or sleepy, it doesn't matter. Saying no biting and putting her down has not made any difference and as she's only nearly 11 months old, I don't really think it's effective.
I'm going to see if I've kept any nipple sheilds as suggested in another thread.
Not sure what I need really. Just thanks for reading.
